[Pork scratchings linked to salmonella poisoning
have left at least
12 people needing hospital treatment.
Concerns have been raised about snacks
made by Tayto Group Ltd at its factory in Bolton,
Greater Manchester, the Food Standards Agency said.
Some Mr Porky, Jay's and The Real Pork Crackling
Company products have been recalled
and withdrawn from sale.
Tayto Group Ltd said production would
resume once all necessary checks
had been completed.
The FSA said testing had found a total
of 176 reported cases of salmonella poisoning
were potentially connected to the products,
dating back to September 2020,
although the link was only established
earlier this month.

Public Health England confirmed it
was aware of 12 people needing hospital treatment.
In a recall alert, the FSA issued further details
about the snacks, which have best before
dates up to and including 19 February 2022.
Tina Potter, the FSA's head of incidents,
said it was "really important that
consumers follow this advice to avoid
the risk of becoming ill with salmonella poisoning".]
